AIRBAG DISPOSAL
SPECIAL TOOL REQUIRED
Before scrapping any airbags or side airbags (including those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the airbags or side
airbags must be deployed. If the vehicle is still within the warranty period, before deploying the airbags or side airbags,
the Technical Manager must give approval and/or special instruction. Only after the airbags or side airbags have been
deployed (as the result of vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped.
If the airbags or side airbags appear intact (not deployed), treat them with extreme caution. Follow this procedure.
DEPLOYING AIRBAGS IN THE VEHICLE
If an SRS equipped vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, its airbags or side airbags should be deployed while still in the
vehicle. The airbags or side airbags should not be considered as salvageable parts and should never be installed in
another vehicle. 1. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and disconnect the battery negative cable and wait at least three minutes.
2. Confirm that each airbag or side airbag is securely mounted.
3. Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure.
DRIVER'S AIRBAG :
1.Remove the driver's airbag and install the SST(0957A - 38500).
2. Install the driver's airbag on the steering wheel.
FRONT PASSENGER'S AIRBAG :
1.Remove the glove box, then disconnect the 2P connector between the front passenger's airbag and SRS main
harness.
2. Install the SST(0957A - 3F100).
SIDE AIRBAG :
1.Disconnect the 2P connector between the side airbag and side wire harness.
2. Install the SST (0957A- 3F100).
CURTAIN AIRBAG :
1.Disconnect the 2P connector between the curtain airbag and wire harness.
2. Install the SST(0957A - 38500).
SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER :
1.Disconnect the 2P connector from the seat belt pretensioner.
2. Install the SST(0957A - 38500).
3. Place the deployment tool at least thirty feet (10 meters) away from the airbag.
4. Connect a 12 volt battery to the tool.
5. Push the tool's deployment switch. The airbag should deploy (deployment is both highly audible and visible: a loud
noise and rapid inflation of the bag, followed by slow deflection)
6. Dispose of the complete airbag. No part of it can be reused. Place it in a sturdy plastic bag and seal it securely.

DEPLOYING THE AIRBAG OUT OF THE VEHICLE
If an intact airbag has been removed from a scrapped vehicle, or has been found defective or damage during transit,
storage or service, it should be deployed as follows :1. Position the airbag face up, outdoors on flat ground at least thirty feet (10meters) from any obstacles or people.
DISPOSAL OF DAMAGED AIRBAG
1.If installed in a vehicle, follow the removal procedure of driver's airbag front passenger's and side airbag.
2. In all cases, make a short circuit by twisting together the two airbag inflator wires.
3. Package the airbag in exactly the same packing that the new replacement part come in.

Drive Airbag (DAB) Module and
Clock Spring

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
DESCRIPTION
Driver Airbag (DAB) is installed in steering wheel and electrically connected to SRSCM via clockspring. It protects the
driver from danger by deploying a bag when frontal crash occurs. The SRSCM determines deployment of Driver Airbag
(DAB).
Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module (squib) even if you are using the specified
tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious
personal injury.

REMOVAL
1.Disconnect the battery negative cable and wait at least three minutes before beginning work.
2. Remove the airbag module mounting bolts.
3.Disconnect the horn connector(A).
4.Release the connector locking pin(B), then disconnect the driver airbag module connector(C).
The removed airbag module should be stored in a clean, dry place with the pad cover face up.
5. Remove the steering wheel and steering wheel column cover(Refer to ST group in the Workshop Manual).
6. Disconnect the clock spring and horn connector, then remove the clock spring.
INSTALLATION
1.Disconnect the negative ( - ) cable from battery and wait for at least three minutes.

2.Remove ignition key from the vehicle.
3. Connect the clock spring harness connetor and horn harness connector to the clock spring.
4. Set the clock spring on neutral position and after turning the front wheels to the straight- ahead position, install the
clock spring.
5. Install the steering wheel column cover and the steering wheel. (Refer to ST group)
6. Connect the Driver Airbag (DAB) module connector and horn connector, then install the Driver Airbag (DAB)
module on the steering wheel.
7. Secure the Driver Airbag (DAB) with the new mounting bolts.
Tightening Torque (DAB Mounting Bolt)
: 0.8 ~ 1.1 kgf.m (7.9 ~ 10.8 Nm, 5.8 ~ 8.0 lb.ft)
8.Connect the battery negative cable.
9. After installing the airbag, confirm proper system operation:
a. Turn the ignition switch ON; the SRS indicator light should be turned on for about six seconds and then go off.
b. Make sure horn button works.
INSPECTION
Driver Airbag (DAB)
If any improper parts are found during the following inspection, replace the airbag module with a new one.
Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module (squib) even if you are using the specified
tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious
personal injury.
1. Check pad cover for dents, cracks or deformities.
2. Check the airbag module for denting, cracking or deformation.
3. Check hooks and connectors for damage, terminals for deformities, and harness for binds.

4.Check airbag inflator case for dents, cracks or deformities.
5.Install the airbag module to the steering wheel to check for fit or alignment with the wheel.
Clockspring
1.If, as a result of the following checks, even one abnormal point is discovered, replace the clock spring with a new
one.
2. Check connectors and protective tube for damage, and terminals for deformities.
